Freshly prepared salmon croquettes on white plate

Crispy on the outside and tender inside, these Salmon Croquettes are a savory, satisfying way to enjoy fresh salmon in a quick and easy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb cooked salmon, flaked
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, onion, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, beaten egg, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  2. Shape the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  4. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  5. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  6. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.

Notes

For a healthier twist, try baking the croquettes at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, instead of frying.
